Dal researchers and their partners used fruit flies to identify genes linked to long-term memory. Their findings, accepted by a top science journal, could illuminate human neurological disorders and inspire future breakthroughs.

ÃÀÅ®×ö°® and community partners hosted Waters Flowing Together in Iona, Cape Breton last month —a three-day celebration blending Indigenous knowledge, ocean science, music, and culture on Bras d'Or Lake.

ÃÀÅ®×ö°®â€™s new marine biodiversity centre opens to the public this December, offering guests a chance to explore the ocean through immersive exhibits, Indigenous storytelling, and Michael’s Whale — a breathtaking blue whale skeleton.

A new clinic led by Dal and community partners — with funding from GSK Canada — will offer faster, community-based respiratory care that empowers patients and trains future professionals while easing pressure on Nova Scotia’s overstretched health system.

Deep Sound, a free-falling autonomous device developed at Dal that can gather ambient sounds up to 10 kilometres under the ocean, offers a window into ocean acidity and its adverse effects on marine life.
